Lisabeth,

My name is Kathleen.  I started painting when I was 5 becasue it was the only thing I could do and stay out of the way of my family caring for a very sick baby sister.  When I finished and showed the family what I had done they said nice things to me.  I have always considered painting time my earthly lifeline.  Your art is magnificent don't ever give up any of it just don't expect it to be right for others all of the time.  I would love to read what you would say if you described the process of working with  seaweed. You really have my imagination going since I have never in my life had opportunity to know what seaweed feels like.  Do I sound a bit crazy - I'm really serious.  You might have a serious market for your art in other parts of the country if with each art piece you have a description that tells the viewer more about it. Are they under glass? Does it have the look of collage?  Why Are the textures so varried? Art buyers are a curious lot! Oops I forgot that I was on the job. PS I set in a living room with Eric Clapton in 1972 discussing what his next album cover should look like.  I did sketches and he gave feedback, fun wonderful hippie memory! Thank you Kathleen

Hi Lisabeth,

Your collage work is outstanding!  I love your 'drawing outside the lines' attitude of overlapping onto your matts.  I'm currently working on some copper feathers with jewelry that are framed and matted, and I've overlapped the matts in much the same way.  I really like the visual it creates.
